Tori Spelling Gives Birth and Angelina Prepares to Hide Twinsby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 10 Jun 2008 10:40 PM It's a girl (and no real shocker) for actress Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott. According to reports, Stella Doreen McDermott was born Monday afternoon via scheduled c-section in Los Angeles. She weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz, is 20 inches long. Spelling's rep noted that Stella's middle name is that of McDermott's late mother. Baby Stella joins big brother Liam who turns 15 months this week. Stella also has a 9-year-old half brother Jack from McDermott's pervious marriage. Stella is the first daughter for Spelling and McDermott. Meanwhile, Brangelina's twins have yet to make their debut. According to reports, the spawns of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still tucked safely away in their mom's growing belly. No new news on that front, though reports on why the unfairly beautiful couple chose to move their brood to southern France and have Jolie give birth there is now emerging. According to French newspapers, the main reason the world's most famous expecting couple uprooted their children, 6-year-old Maddox, 4-year-old Pax, 3-year-old Zahara and 2-year-old Shiloh to move to the Provence village of Correns is because French law is tough on paparazzi, especially when it comes to snapping photos of children. This, of course, could come in quite handy after Jolie gives birth to her twins- particularly if she sells the rights to the first baby pictures for millions. In France, other celebrities have waged war on gossip magazines with precedent-setting lawsuits and come out on top. For example, the newspaper Le Figaro cites Monaco's royal family, which in 2006 grossed $681,120 through lawsuits in France. In addition to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, magazines are also regularly ordered to run huge "mea culpa" notices across their covers. These days to avoid lawsuits most French magazines regularly blur out the faces of celebrities' children or simply pull the photos. One French lawyer told Le Figaro that if any magazine were to obtain snapshots of Jolie and her as-yet-unborn twins, he would counsel them to blur the babies' faces unless she was at a public event with them where she knee the media would be snapping photos. Do you think Brangelina should just sell the first shots of their twins and get it over with?
